Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah etc.
We are having a very white Christmas with lots of snow sparkling on the trees and ground and just now the sun has finally broken through the high overcast.
Doug and I will be going to my mom's for dinner later today but in the meantime I am looking forward to weaving on the blue/grey tea towel warp. The next warp is so pretty I'm anxious to get it into the loom to see how it looks woven up.
And yes, that is a pirn on my mantel - it's been modified to make a dandy candle snuffer. The hanging behind the tree is 2/8 cotton woven in Bronson Lace pick up. The motif is a butterfly. Hard to see, I know - it looks better hung in a window but I don't have an appropriate window in which to display it so we put it against the brick chimney.

I can vouch that the butterfly is gorgeous. In fact I was just thinking of it the other day as I get ready for my year of learning even more about weaving and improving my skills, quality, and general wonderfulness as a producer of lovely and functional woven things. I was thinking "I wonder if I could figure out how to do something like that all by myself..." That's how lovely it is - it's still sticking with me and inspiring me months later!
Hi Sharon,
If you have CD Weaver, the instructions for picking up Bronson Lace are on there. In two versions - one the article I wrote for Heddle magazine, the other in the Workshop in a Box - Bronson Lace.
Cheers,
Laura
